Wheelchair v Buggy Supreme court ruling

Wheelchairs will now be given priority over pushchairs on buses following a Supreme Court ruling

The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of wheelchairs over buggies on our buses.

Doug Paulley is disabled, and decided to take legal action after he was refused entry to a bus as there was already a buggy on board.

The ruling has not gone as far as to create legislation in favour of wheelchair users on buses, but the court has requested that bus providers do more to ensure wheelchair users a space on the vehicle.

The decision has caused some debate over whether wheelchairs should be given priority, with some arguing that young babies in pushchairs are just as vulnerable as disabled people.
